1/2 dozen Eggs, diced

1/2 cup Celery, diced

Onion, Diced (optional)

1 cup Mayonnaise, or Salad Dressing

Boil eggs for 20-25 minutes and then place under cold water. Take the shells off the eggs while they are still warm so that the shell does not pull the white of the egg apart. Dice the eggs. I use the tool that you cut your flour with to make a pie shell to dice my eggs.

Dice your celery and onion into small pieces.

Mix all of your ingredients into the diced eggs.

Egg Salad Sandwich

The main use for Egg salad is wonderfully blended salad on a sandwich. Egg salad is great with tomato and lettuce and on white, or wheat bread. The bread can be toasted to give it a little more crunch and to absorb the moisture in the egg salad.
